Webinar: Producing knowledge from the left in Eastern Europe

A webinar hosted by the Transnational Institute (TNI) will address knowledge production in Eastern Europe by leftist organizations and it will be held on 21 October at 6PM CET. You can register here to attend.
Understanding Eastern Europe’s post-socialist situation from a left perspective has been a major challenge for left politics in the region in recent decades. TNI’s webinar will bring together speakers from organizations who produce knowledge from the left in Eastern Europe, to discuss how they address this challenge.
The speakers (among which are one of our editors and other ELMO members) will discuss organizational models they use to resist academic, political and market pressures, and how they combine the task of analysis with that of organizing and building social power.
Speakers:
Adela Hîncu and Mary Taylor (LeftEast)
Luba Kobova (Contradictions, Prague)
Anastasia Riabchuk (Commons)
Vladimir Simović (Center for Politics of Emancipation, Belgrade)
Maria Cernat (Institute for Social Solidarity, The Barricade, Bucharest)
